Donkey gets served...

Wassup, Y'all!

Damn. Wasn't I just cracking on Eddie Murphy for not hooking his brother Charlie up with more acting gigs? Guess we know why now, don't we, y'all? The brother's been preoccupied. Maaa fact you can kinda see the 'irreconcilable differences' percolating in this glossy. Anyway, as reported by both Extra (by way of Defamer.com who stole my headline - "I want half Eeedie". Man, you snooze you lose!) and USA Today, Eddie's wife Nichole Murphy has dropped papers on old boy. That bit from Eddie's Raw album remains a classic. On it, Eddie says his plan to avoid gold digging American women who marry, then divorce, then want half of everything is to marry a native African woman (riding bareback naked on a zebra) who has no idea of such things. Later on, after bringing her to American and her spending quality time with her American girls, when the topic of divorce comes up, she immediately claims in her cute African accent - "I want half, Eeedie!" Man, somehow that bit doesn't seem as funny right now... I should have known something was up with Nichole when I kept seeing her pop up in the audience of The Contender fights with no Eddie in sight. Fellas - you got to look for the clues...

Moving on to a favorite topic of mine - Tyra Banks - it looks like having one successful TV show (UPN's America's Next Top Model) and a thriving supermodel career isn't enough for our favorite Victoria's Secret angel. Beginning September 12th, Tyra will be moving into the rarified air occupied by Oprah and Dr. Phil when she launches the The Tyra Banks Show. The glossy on the right captures perfectly how Tyra will be looking on future modeling shoots as she tries to juggle it all. If you peep her show site, she has a few clips that are already getting her in 'Oprah' mode - the one about she wasn't always comfortable with her body was pretty deep - actually all the clips are pretty deep and it shows there's much more to T-Banks than meets the eye. Whichever homeboy finally steps up to that will have to come strong, jack (and have Dr. Phil's number on speed dial...). I'm gonna have to swoop some show tickets as this might be my only opportunity to dip into Tyra's atmosphere. Man, when's Free gonna come out with her talk show...

Peace@Least,

Tyrone
